J.D. Gevry, MPH (they/them) is an emerging poet writing through their lens and experiences as a queer, non-binary trans French Canadian American from Vermont. Their work primarily explores the complexities and intersections of sexuality, gender, class and the street economy, race, and ethnicity. Their experiences as a married polyamorous person inspire much of their work; J.D. is currently writing a book chronicling the development of a lust-propelled tryst into a sordid romantic affair with a man in an open-turned-monogamous relationship. They also had work recently published in "Flush Left," an online series produced by Indolent Books. They are particularly interested in supporting and/or participating in community-focused creative spaces which privilege and center the voices of marginalized and underrepresented artists. For over a decade, J.D. has served in roles in the public health and social service sectors and spends their spare time love-lost among the ferns of Massachusetts.
